ROOR Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 So i see a lot of videos saying to use vodka or cola, but everyone talks about boiling them. I have yet to see a vid with the boiling method. can anyone explain to me how i go about this? Or what method is the best? I would like to try the boiling if it works well just because i don't know about leaving it in cola seems like the sugar would gunk it up. thank you!
ROOR Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 Sorry just now found a thread here with a lot of good ideas. Side note I learned to use the search bar!.. sorry im really new to forums altogether .
Schizophretard Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Don't use anything but running hot water through them, blowing them out, and then letting them dry for at least a day unless you are resurrecting a dead atty. Sometimes cleaning with chemicals/soda can kill an atty, so it isn't worth it unless it is dead anyway.
mcquinn Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I agree if it is broke you can't hurt it ,bring out the big guns.I use hot water from my coffee maker .
ROOR Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Awesome so just hold it under hot water? As hot as i can stand with my hands? and then blow it out gotchya! ty!

GDub Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I'd just like to add that I would recommend using distilled water when cleaning attys. Hard water minerals can build up on the coil and cause more problems than the e-juice itself.
nana Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I'd just like to add that I would recommend using distilled water when cleaning attys. Hard water minerals can build up on the coil and cause more problems than the e-juice itself. I like that idea, GDub, but I can't seem to find distilled water any more. It used to be in every store, grocery store, etc., but I haven't seen any for years. I've been looking more lately, but I just don't find it. I have looked into making my own distilled water, but that seems very time consuming. I haven't done a great deal of research into it yet, but I'm not sure it's something I can do right now. I guess I'll keep looking.
Michelle Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 It is getting harder to find, nana...I agree. I get mine at Wally.
ROOR Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 So how would i get running distilled water water?
GDub Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 So how would i get running distilled water water? I have a little electric tea kettle I like to use to clean my attys. I just fill it up, turn it on, then pour it through the attys as I hold them with a slightly modified set of tweezers (I just wrapped the ends with a little electric tape so I don't scratch the finish when holding the atty).
ROOR Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 I just got some purified water and micro waved it and let it sit for a few mins and now im letting it dry..
Uma Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Why these ecigs don't come with assemble & washing instructions I'll never know. Tip: Make sure to prime the atty with 2 or 3? drops directly before using again. I learnt that the hard way... mine is broke. Down to one.
